Product Description
This text commences with a discussion of the families of basic sound producers, continues with the elements and forms of music, and completes with a journey through music history including biographies of the great composers. Appreciating Music Student Text (2nd ed.) explores the fundamental elements of the world of music. Musical instruments and basic music elements, as well as the nature and variety of different musical forms are discussed. The text also offers a historical perspective of music, tracing the development of music throughout history and providing biographical information about famous composers and musicians. A glossary of key musical terms is included in the back of the book. This is no dry study! The text comes with two listening CDs (Listener's Choice and Appreciating Music) that bring the great music of the ages alive. It is appropriate for musician and non-musician alike. Some basic familiarity with a musical keyboard may be helpful, but is not required.
